Rangers’ “main objective” is to accomplish it “as quickly as possible,” according to Barry Ferguson.

As Philippe Clement did when he was hired by Rangers in October 2023,

many managers now arrive at the club and discuss their “philosophy.”

a tactical philosophy or underlying style of play that has been incorporated into

their coaching personal brand. a strategy for handling the team, the press,

and the supporters. After arriving and dismissing Mick Beale a year and a half ago,

Clement talked about how he was drawn to the “long-term project” that was available at Ibrox.

The club’s “potential” is a “dominant style of football” that focuses on “creating chances,

creating spaces for ourselves, and with a lot of changing of the positions of the players.

” The team has only won one league title in ten years. After 16 months, it’s safe to say that the

Rangers supporters were eager to see Clement’s alleged “style of play” in action.

The 2-0 loss to St. Mirren at home that led to his dismissal was just more of the

same—turgid, stodgy, and devoid of intensity, creativity, or inspiration. In sharp contrast,

Rangers supporters can anticipate a “aggressive,” “attack-minded” team against

Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, but that was all he discussed. Ferguson kept his message clear:

Rangers must win above all else.
